Topic: U.S national soccer team fails to qualify for World Cup (Read 1661 times)

First time since 1990. U.S lost today to Trinidad and Tobago while both Panama and Honduras won, so the U.S ended up in fifth in the Hexagonal (ahead of Trinidad and Tobago.) Top thee finishers in the hexagonal qualified automatically while the fourth place team plays the fifth place team in Asian qualifying.

I look forward to the World Cup. I follow the USMNT and haven't been this disappointed in a long time. Well...The last World Cup actually. Total shock at yesterdays result. The entire hierarchy needs replaced from Sunil Gulati on down. I liked Jurgen Klinsmann, but I think he was hired 4 years too late. I'm not sure what direction the team goes now. The old standards like Dempsey and Howard will be gone. Michael Bradley is awful. Pulisic is the future star but he needs more help. Speaking of Dempsey, I was hoping to see him in one last WC. Oh well. At least he tied Donovan's goal record.

Fox looked forward to the World Cup as well. They paid $400 million to cover it. I wonder if they can sell those rights on eBay.

This is a step in the right direction and I can only hope that it will clear the way for a permanent ban. Americans have no business playing football for one thing, and then have the cheek to call it by another name (soccer ffs!). The whole thing looks weird and I think you should be confined to your own fatuous pseudo-games. By the way, this is nothing personal. Much as I loathe and detest you nitwits, I have come to this conclusion quite impartially.

I agree. The act of owning a soccer jersey should be automatic justification for a FISA warrant.

I agree. It's time to stop trying to like this dumb sport, and pretending to care every four years.

The rest of the world should go back to kicking a bloody goat's head around in the dirt

Soccer is a British word derived from 'Association football.' The association being football and rugby.

Soccer. Boring. Where's the maiming and mayhem? The CTE's? Maybe in the stands but certainly not on the field. Beach volleyball. Now there's a sport. I'd put our girls up against any other country's anytime

Yep. And they can stuff Team Handball and rhythmic gymnastics.

Add Barrel Jumping to the Winter Olympics

p.s. They are finding that CTE may be persistent in soccer for people that do too many headers or ... party with too many hooligans.

Is there a sports equivalent of Alex Jones. The World Cup is in Russia, and US doesn't qualify, there's got to be a conspiracy somewhere.

I like soccer, it's interesting hearing the blame game now. Some are saying it due to US team being too money driven and only scouting kids with the means to go to college and ignoring inner city kids who might have pure talent but not the resources.

Or we can just blame Trump as under Obama the US went to TWO World Cups!!!

That's a good choice, if you are interested in that sort of stuff I will bring your attention to Declan Hill who wrote books on match fixing especially in world soccer. He also likes wearing a pompous scarf on his twitter photo and went to Oxford, which an elitist loving lib like myself makes him very relatable
